Say rather that none of them would be *inappropriate* to wear to an event
for such a group, and that in a thousand years, (with the possible exception
of the space helmet) that above outfit probably would just look
"historical", even if they were all worn together. of course, if worn
separately, (by someone who took the time to say, build an authentic-looking
apollo astronaut get-up), it'd look a lot *better*, though.... :)
